Jerksticks

By injuries did you mean “way too small. Outfielders will never respect him and play 7 infielders so his OPS will never be high enough and he doesn’t strike out or walk enough too small to function waste of a 4th pick, you need to get higher Ceiling at #4 even though the last 10 #4 picks have almost all amounted to complete shit, hold my beer while I go slap him around and teach him how to hit homers”?

I too think he should go back to WS and master it first

Soto or Yelich for fuck’s sake.

Yea he’s calm too. Opposite of Carson Fulmer sweating so much the mound shows signs of erosion.

Yeah it sure seems like he’s got a handle on being one of the better AA players

Eh. Half the lineup is scrubs. I expect scrubs to scrub. I’m sure you sent the coaching staff a thank you for overachieving with scrubs the first half, especially with the pitching.

Is it just me or does Eloy have a cast on the opposite arm he was holding when he got injured?

Yes. Nice post. There’s so much more to it than the simple thought of “don’t burn his service time in a meaningless couple of months”. There’s sooooooo much more to it than that.

To be fair, it can turn into $300M if he wins a few CYAs in a row

Well I feel like the Yankees and a few other teams can go 7/210 no problem. Why pick the Sox in that case?

Juggernaut Assembling!

For real. Sounds like he probably sits 93-95 like Gio. That curve is sick. I wonder if his arm action is the same with it.

I had no idea he threw gas.

Eh, there’s just so many more layers to it than this. Everyone gets this. How do you balance: Club financial flexibility Necessary MLB seasoning Team chemistry PR and fan interest Employee morale Rewarding somebody when they earn something...or fallout from NOT rewarding the player How potential FA perceive your club based on the above. There are probably 100 more factors that go into it

I wonder if he’s the best player in baseball

Totally agree except I say burn the year of control, treat him like a human being, and talk again in a few years maybe. I want my pancakes now damnit

Mercy.

Flat-Earthers might be closer to correct than whoever is arguing that

You’re in the Nervous Guy Room pal. There’s no reasoning

I think Leury gets a nice extension to be Mr. SuperSub for our contending teams. Add him to the list

Well let’s all just be happy we don’t have Machado and move on.

What’s funny is that list is waaaaaay better than the results at #4, where people on here somehow claimed Madrigal wasn’t the type of talent you take at 4. Which is a theory based on who knows...maybe taint + testes= boobs? I dunno.

Yea I imagine the .900+ OPS is just fine by itself when the knees are achey.

Those numbers are a bit crazy, but it’s not really doubling his power. It’s imagining him getting shit tons of doubles and triples in the majors from skill, not power. The people that are able to think about Madrigal outside of the box see Wes Welker leading the league in receptions, but not from jump balls like Randy Moss. Everyone else sees some dude who should have flamed out in d3 college.

He don’t read the memos!
